AUSTIN -- In response to the release of gruesome videos filmed at Planned Parenthood facilities, including Gulf Coast in Texas, Governor Greg Abbott today announced initiatives to provide greater protections for children in the womb and prevent the sale of baby body parts.

“Gruesome -- and potentially illegal -- harvesting of baby body parts by Planned Parenthood cannot be allowed in Texas,” said Governor Abbott. “Treating unborn children as commodities to be sold is an abomination. The barbaric practice of harvesting and selling baby body parts must end.”

Governor Abbott announced the following proposals that will be tenets of the LIFE Initiative, some of which will be implemented now, others that will require changes to the law:

Laws must be changed to (1) make it a felony under Texas law to perform a partial-birth abortion; and (2) make it illegal for abortion doctors to risk a woman’s health by altering the procedure to preserve fetal body parts.

Improve and expand the availability of adoption services; and increase awareness about Texas’ already best-in-the-nation child-support enforcement program, so that young mothers considering how to deal with pregnancy know the father will be held accountable to support his family.

Funding for Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers out of taxpayer money must be eliminated completely, both at the State and local levels.

Eliminate and criminalize any sale or transaction of fetal tissue by an abortion clinic for any purpose whatsoever.

There are several investigations ongoing at a swift pace. The information revealed in those investigations will yield additional information that could further shape Governor Abbott’s LIFE Initiative.

Your Opinions and Comments

The grand jury was called upon to investigate allegations of criminal conduct by Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast and they were cleared in the two-month-long investigation. Sounds to me like they were cleared.

SayWhat??? PP was not cleared of anything. They just to ignore selling baby parts and went for the buy who used a fake drivers license. Which do you think is worse? This is not the last you will hear about this one!

Now that Planned Parenthood has been cleared of those controversial videos, we will see if anyone apologizes to them. I doubt anyone will apologize. People prefer to propagate lies if the truth does not fit their stories.... More ›

Now that Planned Parenthood has been cleared of those controversial videos, we will see if anyone apologizes to them. I doubt anyone will apologize. People prefer to propagate lies if the truth does not fit their stories. Planned Parenthood is the organization that provides health care to women who can not afford it. Period. If you are so against abortions, how about providing more support for birth control? Oh, wait, that is also what Planned Parenthood does, along with many other health issues. They provide mammograms, etc... if you got rid of planned parenthood, women would still be getting abortions, but they would be getting them done in dark, back rooms of a shack or in a dirty dark alleys or across the border. Women's health issues should be decided by women, not some man or woman with legislative powers sitting behind a desk.

New Guy. What do you want him to apologize for? At least making an attempt to protect the lives of the unborn creations of God? Or perhaps he should apologize for the secular courts and people like yourself who do everything in their power to destroy babies on a whim and also cause tremendous mental harm and ultimate feeling of remorse to the women who choose the abortion process over life? Did you ever consider that those murdered babies would have been a huge blessing for those folks who long to adopt?
